Angels signed RHP Brandon Hynick to a minor league contract.

Hynick posted a promising 3.32 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 135 2/3 innings this past season between three different levels of the Rockies' minor league system. The 27-year-old righty is well worth the flier for Anaheim. Wed, Nov 28, 2012 11:09:00 PM

Hyneck fared well in Double-A last season, but his promotion to Triple-A was a bit of a hiccup. His cumulative stats included a 4.39 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 81/34 K/BB ratio. He will turn 26 before Opening Day, so this spring will be an important opportunity for Hyneck to prove that he is big league material. Thu, Jan 20, 2011 05:04:00 AM

Sure, the White Sox just threw in the towel on the 2009 season. But at least they did it right, getting younger in the process. Hynick, 24, had a 3.83 ERA and 92/48 K/BB ratio this season in 155 innings for Triple-A Colorado Springs and could be an effective big league reliever as soon as 2010. Tue, Sep 1, 2009 12:43:00 AM

Brandon Hynick struck out 11 while allowing one run in a complete-game victory for Single-A Modesto on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Hynick probably should have been promoted a month ago. He's 10-2 with a 2.48 ERA, 110 H and 87/18 K/BB in 116 1/3 IP in the California League. He lacks outstanding upside, but he should be able to contribute in the majors in the second half of 2008 or in 2009. Mon, Jul 9, 2007 04:02:00 PM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
